Adventure Trek Itinerary

Day 01: Arrival Leh

Reporting – Acclimatization – Orientation & Briefing of the trek – Trek Preparation & window shopping Arrive in where you would be greeted by our representative and transfered to your hotel.

(Sufficient time would be given for visiting market and nearby places) Overnight in the hotel/Guest House.

Post breakfast, we take a beautiful drive through the beautiful scenery with your first views of the Indus river and later the Zanskar river at their confluence at Nimoo. From Nimoo you follow the Zanskar to the roadhead at Tilat Do.

Overnight in trekking tents.

Today, we will trek close to 10-12 kms depending on the fitness of the group. Though our objective would be to get to Gyalpo we could camp earlier also in case the going gets tough during the day.
